Fixes: #2862
Pubsub framework is extended to support subscriptions based on bounded
ring channels. Bounded subscriptions are used in the new epochtime
WatchLatestEpoch method. The method is similar to the existing WatchEpochs
method, with the change that unread epochs get overridden with latest
epoch.
Registration worker is changed to use the WatchLatestEpoch method to
prevent trying to register for old epochs in case the worker falls
behind.
XXX: any other places where using a ring channel (e.g. skipping past/outdated channel items) would be preferable?
